Any politics that claims to be on the side of rational discussion without ideological zealotry needs a clause "Manifesto-writers see yourselves out." Despite this particular new crop popping up online, no, it doesn't count if your manifesto is about how bad people who reduce things to manifestos are. You don't get points when your unsubstantiated, simplistic essay is about how we should be on the team that substantiates arguments and isn't so simplistic. Practicing what you preach is hard, but man, at least make an effort.
